A ‘lil Richard Scarry study I made. “Haggis has a hole in his roof”

Illustrated an axolotl sticker sheet for my work, excited to see them with the glitter pass when they get produced this fall.

I kinda enjoy lettering onomatopoeia sound effects, but lettering actual dialogue text… no thanks… I’ll stick to a font.

I might be getting to the collecting old View-Master discs era of my life.

It's real! “Trail to the Temple” comes out this summer! I did the illustration work, graphic design was done by my coworker Nate and Melissa did the product development. Created by Reiner Knizia. I'm pretty hyped to have art on a fancy board game! #boardgames

“Scurry and sniff” My obligatory Star Wars drawing for the day. I think the pit droid design is probably my favorite from the whole series.

I’ve been doing quick high fashion reference sketches lately to loosen up more.

Spied a car with the custom MN plates that said "Pikachu" and it WASN'T a yellow car and not even an electric car at that! Missed opportunity for some whimsy I say.

Found this letter from my dearly departed grandmother. She was so lovely, her birthday is coming up in a week. It looks like she gave me an early gift this year.

I’m fucking furious, they continue to murder Minnesotans. ICE needs to be removed and abolished now!

“As the orvids darted about the arid sky, circling the soon to be carrion. The infection continues to bloom in every living creature and it reeks of spiced honey.”

There’s definitely something wrong with their thyroid. Little work in progress.

Pro tip: You technically do not need to spend money on food at the Minnesota state fair. Plenty of Sweet Martha’s cookies to scrape off the road all around the fair campus.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Labubu is just the illicit love child of a Monchhichi and that creature from Where the Wild Things Are.

The Andor series finale was outstanding. Now I kinda want a Ken Burns documentary show of just talking heads going on about the fall of the empire and the reconstruction of the galactic republic.

Indie comics should have a Nintendo Direct-esque event where we all make little trailers for the comics we'll have coming out soon and people get excited about them :>
